Pep Guardiola's agreement with Manchester City is rock solid.

The Sunday Mirror says the agreement Bayern Munich boss Guardiola has made to take over at the Etihad does NOT include a get-out clause that would give him an escape route should the Blues miss out on a top four finish.

Manuel Pellegrini's men have slipped to fourth in recent weeks – and will face a buoyant Tottenham side on Sunday with their title hopes fading and their Champions League qualification ambitions in the balance.

City looked certainties to finish in the top four when Guardiola was completing the formalities on his deal with City, but they have won just two of their last five league games and now trail behind Leicester, Arsenal and Spurs.
